Street Fighter 5 Beta Reportedly Returns This Month

Street Fighter V’s third beta phase will reportedly return on December 17th and run through December 20th, according to an advertisement on the PlayStation Store.

Earlier today, the PlayStation 4 Street Fighter V beta received an update, bringing it up to version 1.06. Event Hubs reports the PC version also received the same update in what appears to be preparation for the beta.

As seen in the screenshot below, the PlayStation Store has a pre-order advertisement confirming the dates but Capcom has not released any official statement regarding the next beta phase. IGN has reached out to Capcom for confirmation and will update with a response.

Last year, Capcom teased the return of Charlie at Capcom Cup, the finale to the Capcom Pro Tour. This year, 32 players will contend for $250,000 USD at Capcom Cup, which will be held during PSX on December 5.

Street Fighter V will be released on February 16, 2016 for PC and PS4.
